LLWWC44 - White on White Challenge!

Hello everyone! It's my turn to host this week's challenge! I'm so excited!!

I love the color white. It's so crisp and clean. I have been really into making cards using white on white, with color only on the stamped image. This week, the challenge is just that... everything white except for the stamped image. It's really fun and not as difficult as you might think it will be.  

Since I used Happy Maya on my card, she will be on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday! I LOVE Happy Maya and I hope that you will add her to your collection too!

Here's what you need to do to be eligible to win the PRIZE or Top Three badge:

1. 
   
   Create a NEW card/project for the challenge that has embossing on it. You are more than welcome to combine challenges!
2. 
   
   Everyone is welcome to play, but to qualify for the Top Three badge and/or the prize your project MUST have a La-La Land Crafts stamp on it!! You are welcome to use any other stamps along with La-La Land Crafts images, such as sentiments, background, etc.

Hello everyone!

We have Maureen hosting this week's challenge and it's a fun one! 

She decided to make this an Embossing Challenge!

You can do either dry or heat embossing - the choice is yours! Woo hoo!!

Since Maureen used the Beach Lala set on her card, she will be on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!

I got my Cuttlebug folders out for this challenge.

Happy Maya up close!

I used three different Cuttlebug Folders for this challenge.

The yellow Bazzill cardstock was embossed with the Stampin' Up Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die.

The Stampin' Up Newsprint Designer Paper was embossed with the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder "Stars".

I cut out two ovals using my Nesties. They were embossed using the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder "Swiss Dots" and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Black Soot.

I used W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, E0000, and E00 to color in Maya.

Let's see what kind of embossing you like to do!

LLWWC37

Happy Wednesday!

Jana is your hostess of this week's challenge!

Here's what she has to say about LLWWC# 37:
Lately, I've been loving my Basic Grey Green at Heart papers, so they inspired this week's color challenge. So, create a card using Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Certainly Celery and Pumpkin Pie (yup, I want some orange in there!!) or similar colors.

 

Jana used Window LaLa  for her card so it is on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!

So today is not only Cinco de Mayo, Children's Day ( こどもの日 ~ Kodomo no hi), and my 9th wedding anniversary, but also my sister-in-law, Kari's birthday and my friend, Karen's birthday! A FULL day of celebrations! :)

I wanted to get a birthday card done with this challenge so here's CUPCAKE ROSIE!

Hi everyone! It's time for La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

Maureen is our challenge hostess this week! 
Her challenge: ALTERED EMBELLISHMENTS.
She wants us to take a store bought embellishment and change it in some way!
She has these suggestions as examples: 
Cut a petal off a flower to make a butterfly, sew a running stitch through some ribbon and gather to make a ruffle, take any embellishment and color it with paints/inks/markers, etc.

Maureen is using Birthday Cake Maya on her card so it is on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!

I made a pretty two-toned bow out of ribbon for the challenge. I also took two flowers and put them together with a brad for a layered look.


Here's my card using Cupcake Rosie:

I used the sketch for this week's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #53

Here's what I did to make the bow:

Welcome to the La-La Weekly Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday! I'm so excited! It's my turn to host this week La-La's Weekly Wednesday Challenge! First, a big THANK YOU to all you who played in last week's sketch challenge!!! We LOVE seeing your creations using La-La Land Crafts stamps and digi images!

This week, I want to see what you can make with the SCRAPS that you have lying around.

Scraps are everywhere in my craft room! So now is the time to get your collection out and put them to good use! Scraps of cardstock, designer paper, ribbons... whatever you have lying around.

Since I used Lucky for my card, he is on sale for 20% OFF through next Tuesday!!!

Now, I would like to introduce our first new digital character...

LUCKY!

Isn't he adorable?!

I had a fun time coloring him.

Here's my sample:

Looking forward to seeing what you can put together using scraps!
